Syntax
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF SCREEN dynnr [TITLE title]
[AS WINDOW].
...
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF SCREEN dynnr.
Extras
1. ... TITLE title
2. ... AS WINDOW
Effect
These statements can be specified in the global declaration section of executable programs, function groups, and module pools. They create a standalone
selection screen with the
dynpro number dynnr. The dynpro number must be specified directly and can have a maximum of four digits.
All the PARAMETERS,
SELECT-OPTIONS, and
SELECTION-SCREEN statements that are executed within these statements define the screen elements
for the standalone selection screen. No further selection screens can be defined within the definition of a selection screen.
Addition 1
... TITLE title
Effect
The addition TITLE can be used to define a title for the title bar of a standalone
selection screen. The title can either be a free name with a maximum of eight
characters or the name of a text symbol from the program in the form text-idf,
where idf is the three-character ID of the text symbol. If a name is chosen
freely, the runtime environment generates a type c global variant of the
same name and 70 characters in length. When the selection screen is displayed, the first 70 characters
of the text symbol or global variants are displayed in the title bar. If the specified text symbol is not found, the name of the text symbol is displayed as the title in the form
"TEXT-idf". If the addition TITLE is not specified, the system uses the title of the program defined in the
program attributes.
Addition 2
... AS WINDOW
Effect
The addition AS WINDOW can be used to define a standalone selection screen
displayed in a modal dialog box. The actual shape of the GUI window is not defined until it is accessed
using CALL SELECTION-SCREEN. The addition AS WINDOW also displays
warnings and
error messages that occur during processing of a
selection screen event as a modal dialog box.
Note
The specified dynpro number dynnr must not already be assigned to existing dynpros or selection screens. Also note that the number 1000 for the
standard selection screen cannot be used for a standalone selection screen in an executable program.
